Solaris 10 - Fixing missing home directory issue

If your environment has autofs, this solution does not work. Check autofs related config file, your share and try to mount manually. On isolated environment, or LAB environment, if you forget to use -m option, home directory will not be created. To fix the issue, follow the steps below.

Missing home directory issue

When you login, you will see following error,

Could not chdir to home directory /export/home/bishal: No such file or directory

# mkdir /export/home/bishal
# id -a bishal
uid=100(bishal) gid=1(other) groups=1(other)
# cp -r /etc/skel/* /export/home/bishal/
# chown -R bishal:1 /export/home/bishal
# chmod 700 /export/home/bishal
#

Linux - Increase A VMware Disk Size (VMDK) Formatted As Linux LVM without rebooting

Increase A VMware Disk Size (VMDK) Formatted As Linux LVM without rebooting

To increase the size of your VMware Virtual Machine, you need
1. Increase the disk's size in your vSphere Client or through the CLI. to increase the "hardware" disk
2. Then, use  partition option to extend it.


Increase from 3GB to 10 Gb

1) Checking if you can extend the current disk or need to add a new one

Note: If disk is already partitioned in 4 primary partitions, you can not extend it. Check with fdisk -l command


# fdisk -l

/dev/sda1   *           1          25      200781   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              26        2636    20972857+  8e  Linux LVM

we saw two partitions, you can extent current disk in a virtual machine.
if you have 4 parititon, you have to add new virtual disk to your system.


2) The "hardware" part, "physically" adding diskspace to your VM

- login to your VMware, go to edit setting of VM
- Highlight the disk you want to expand and change the size.
- If the size section is greyed out, shutdown your VM.
Note: you have snapshot taken of that VM, remove it.
- Reboot  your system, if you have complated without reboot, you have to rescan the scsi device.
# ls -l /sys/class/scsi_device


you should have a disk with update disk geometry.

Solaris 11 - Migration of Solaris 10 LDOM oracle database server to Solaris11

Solaris 11 - Migration of Solaris 10 LDOM oracle database server to Solaris11


Prerequisites tasks

For Oracle database on Solaris 11 gold server, install following packages.

# pkg publisher
# pkginfo -l SUNWcsl
# pkg info -r motif
# pkg list | grep -i motif
# pkg install library/motif
# pkg list | grep -i xwplt
# pkg info -r xwplt
# pkg info -r SUNWxwplt
# pkg install compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt
# pkg install compatibility/ucb


Build LDOM

1. Create domain
# ldm add-domain my_ldm-v01
# ldm list

2. Add CPU/Memory/Network info
a. Add CPU/Mem
# ldm add-vcpu 2 my_ldm-v01
# ldm add-memory 2g my_ldm-v01
# ldm list | grep sol11
b. Add network info. since its IPMP, you need to add two NIC,
Get source LDOM network info, and match it to destination
# ldm list-bindings my_ldm-v01
    vnet0            primary-vsw2@primary 
    vnet1            primary-vsw3@primary 

# ldm add-vnet link-prop=phys-state vnet0 primary-vsw0 <ldom>

# ldm add-vnet linkprop=phys-state vnet1 primary-vsw1 my_ldm-v01
# ldm list-bindings my_ldm-v01
# ldm list | more

3. Assign Disk space

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note from storage team:

From Solaris 11 Goldsrv  SOL-MG-P01 (VM: sol-11-goldsrv    LUN 35/ID:  31D)    present to     
SOL-MG-P02 (VM:  my_ldm_v02-sol_11) LUN 48/ID: 035e



1.  From Compellant Control Center, under SOL-MG-P02, create the following VM Folders:
       my_ldm_v03-sol_11
       my_ldm_v02-sol_11

2.  Create the following LUN COPY (not Replay):
      From Solaris 11 Goldsrv  SOL-MG-P01 (VM: sol-11-goldsrv    LUN 35/ID:  31D)    present to      SOL-MG-P02 (VM:  my_ldm_v03-sol_11)  LUN

47/ID:035d
      From Solaris 11 Goldsrv  SOL-MG-P01 (VM: sol-11-goldsrv    LUN 35/ID:  31D)    present to      SOL-MG-P02 (VM:  my_ldm_v02-sol_11) LUN

48/ID: 035e

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


a. Scan the LUNS
# cfgadm -al
# cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev
b. Find LUN Number
# luxadm display /dev/rdsk/c3t6000D310006D640000000000000001FFd0s2
Look under    
Device Address              5000d310006d6431,1c
here, for eg, 1c is the hex number, you have to conver it to DEC, use programmer calculator to change.
to convert 1c to dec it is 28.

# echo | format | egrep "0356|0357"
# ldm add-vdsdev /dev/dsk/c0t6000D310006D64000000000000000356d0s2 DL42@primary-vds0

# ldm list-bindings my_ldm_v04_sol11
# ldm list-bindings my_ldm-v01
# ldm list-bindings my_ldm_v04_sol11
# ldm list

4. Set auto boot to false so that system does not boot upon power on.
# ldm set-variable auto-boot\?=false my_ldm-v01
# ldm set-variable auto-boot\?=false my_ldm_v04_sol11

5. Bind and start LDOM
# ldm list
# ldm bind my_ldm_v04_sol11
# ldm start my_ldm_v04_sol11
LDom my_ldm_v04_sol11 started
# ldm start my_ldm-v01


6. List detail about Solaris 11 LDOM
# ldm list-bindings my_ldm-v01 | more

7. List detail about SOlaris 10 server LDOM
# ldm list-bindings my_ldm_v05 | more

8. Connect to the console
# telnet 0 5013
{0} ok boot -s

Enter user name for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):

root@sol-11-goldsrv:~# ifconfig -a
ipmp0: flags=10c001000842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,DUPLICATE,IPMP,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 2

9. change the following info based on your new env for initial set up of ip/hostname and run it
root@sol-11-goldsrv:/var/tmp/initial-setup# vi setup.sh

ENCLAVE=<dev>

10. Change role into user.

root@sol-11-goldsrv:/var/tmp/CAC/DEV# usermod -R "" jay
root@sol-11-goldsrv:/var/tmp/CAC/DEV# usermod -R "" sam
root@sol-11-goldsrv:/var/tmp/CAC/DEV# rolemod -K type=normal root


11. Now, reboot the machine and login to server using new IP and set up LDAP-CAC
my_ldm_v04 console login:
root@sol-11-goldsrv:/var/tmp/CAC/DEV# reboot
root@sol-11-goldsrv:/# cd /var/tmp/CACDEV/
root@sol-11-goldsrv:/var/tmp/CAC/DEV# sh ldap_inst_dev.sh



12. Go to source server, review cat /etc/ passwd, shadow and group and copy all the user entry related to database/application account.

# egrep "gridmon|iascan|oinstall|oracle" /etc/passwd
# egrep "gridmon|iascan|oinstall|oracle" /etc/shadow
# for i in gridmon iascan oinstall oracle;  do id -a $i; done
# egrep "102|501|503" /etc/group


13. Copy the content of /export/home directory and also /var/opt/oracle
a. Enable direct root login to destination host
# vi /usr/local/ssh6.6p1/etc/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin Yes

b. And restart the service
# /etc/init.d/ssh stop/start



14. Copy important files/directories (/home dir /var/opt/oracle) from source, and update to destination server.
A. Copy from source server
a. Copy directly (use tar and scp without saving on source host

# cd /var/opt
# tar cfE - oracle | ssh root@192.168.10.69 "( cd /var/opt; tar xfBp - )"
# cd /export/home
# tar cfE - gridmon oradev oinstall | ssh root@192.168.10.69 "( cd /export/home; tar xfBp - )"


b. Tar the content at /var/tmp and use scp to copy
# cd /export/home/; du -sh gridmon iascan oinstall oracle
# tar -cvf /var/tmp/home_dir.tar gridmon iascan oinstall oracle
# cd /var/opt;# du -sh *
# tar -cvf /var/tmp/var_opt_oracle.tar oracle
# ls -lh /var/tmp/var_opt_oracle.tar /var/tmp/home_dir.tar
# cd /var/tmp; scp var_opt_oracle.tar home_dir.tar sam@192.168.10.69:/var/tmp


B. Update destination server if needed

root@my_ldm_v04:~# vi /etc/passwd
root@my_ldm_v04:~# vi /etc/passwd
root@my_ldm_v04:~# vi /etc/shadow
root@my_ldm_v04:~#
root@my_ldm_v04:~# vi /etc/group

# tar -tvf /var/tmp/home_dir.tar | more
# cd /export/home/; tar -xvf /var/tmp/home_dir.tar
# cd /var/opt; tar -xvf /var/tmp/var_opt_oracle.tar
# cd oracle; ls
# df -h

verify user env,
# su - oinstall
[oinstall@my_ldm_v04]>env


15. Update sudoers file
# visudo

make sure you verify source/destination file content.


16. Update vfstab, system, and projects file
# vi /etc/vfstab
make sure you verify source/destination file content.



root@my_ldm_v04:~# cat /etc/system

19. Login to control domain and set CPU/MEM
Note: change CPU/Mem while on multi user mode or on power off state.

a. Change CPU/Mem info

20. If you are on multiuser mode, reboot your system.
# init 5 or reboot

or

if your VM is powered off, Power on your VM and boot the system and login to console
